AS ALDRABICES MACIÇAS SOBRE AS ‘ARMAS DE DESTRUIÇÃO MACIÇA DO IRAQUE’
Hans Blix, o chefe dos inspectores da ONU, que operaram no Iraque antes da invasão, esclarece um pouco mais a TEORIA APLICADA DA ALDRABICE POLÍTICA DE BUSH E BLAIR.
A IDEIA BASE DE HANS BLIX - « O IRAQUE TEM ARMAS DE DESTRUIÇÃO MACIÇA? »
A ideia acima modificada pela Administração George W Bush para se 'perceber' melhor - « O Iraque tem armas de destruição maciça! »
A ideia acima de Hans Blix modificada pela Administração Blair para se 'perceber' melhor - « O Iraque tem armas de destruição maciça! »

«However, he said pre-war intelligence such as the UK government dossier which claimed Saddam Hussein had stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons and could deploy some within 45 minutes, appeared to have deliberately overstated the case for war.
"I would never dare to accuse any statesman of bad faith unless I had absolute evidence of it. I do think they exercised spin," Mr Blix told Sky News.
"They put exclamation marks instead of question marks. There were question marks but they changed them to exclamation marks."
The subsequent failure to find weapons of mass destruction after Saddam was deposed saw both Mr Blair and President George Bush face "political punishment", Mr Blix said, adding: "They lost a lot of confidence. Both Bush and Blair lost a lot of confidence."
Mr Blix said the US used UN security council resolutions as cover for a "clearly illegal" war.
He said his inspectors could have confirmed the lack of weapons of mass destruction if they had been given more time.
"I think if they'd allowed us to carry on the inspections a couple of months more, then we would have been able to go to all the sites suspected of by intelligence - British, American or other," he said.
"And since there weren't any weapons we'd have come with that answer: there are no weapons at all the sites that you have given us."
This message, he said, would have run counter to what both the US and some of their sources, such as Iraqi defectors, wanted: "They wanted invasion."»
